PC build

Mythuniend··1 votes·184 views

I'm wanting to build a PC that is capable of playing League at 60 FPS at the highest settings and I have no clue at all when it comes to actually building a computer other than a few youtube videos i've watched. So if anyone has any ideas about parts it would be much appreciated. budget would be around $400-$600. not planning on doing any streaming.

But then some other dude said: no get a nvidia video card And another dude said: Looks like more than enough. I'd personally add in a SSD to put your OS onto.

By the way, Windows 10 is coming out.

By the way, LoL is not as demanding as other video games, so you wouldn't need a monster machine to run it. You would still need something good to run high settings and all, but not an insanely monster machine.

My laptop was made before the fall of the soviet union, and I can still play it on low settings (with character models set to medium).

Thank you so much for all the feedback. its definitely helpful. I also forgot to mention that I would want to play World Of Warcraft at ultra settings and 60 FPS and im not sure if its any more intensive to run or not and I would eventually start a Youtube account and start posting videos eventually so I would need a beefy processor

wait 6 months (for thanksgiving week). in those six months work and save about $400 more so you can build a system for around $1000. set up a system on pcpartpicker. Build it for the future. (this system will last you for several years) Get an i7 processor (not for gaming but for your video work) 16 gb ram, get a 250 (or 256) GB SSD, and get a GTX970 or better. get a 1 or 2 TB storage drive. here is an example (it will be much cheaper around thanksgiving and you can exchange some parts for cheaper parts like the case, powersupply, storage drive, if you dont plan on overclocking you dont need to get the "K" processor...etc...) https://pcpartpicker.com/user/sirsanio/saved/#view=wrxWGX

Want to game? Buy a Mac. They are far better for gaming than a Windows PC.

P.S. Please do not buy a Mac for gaming, I was joking. http://images.iskysoft.com/images/blog/11.jpg
